So, where to begin? I'll try and keep it short and sweet.  Sylrynn made it to the con and suited around as  Subaroo which was a blast! Having him around however didn't stop me from hanging out with all you wonderful people who had offered to hang with me should I be missing my better half for the con. I didn't get to hang with nearly everyone that I wanted too, but I still spent a lot of time hanging out with people this year, meeting a few that I hadn't before, you know who you are and I WILL find you somehow.

What was different about this con for me. This year I didn't try to market my notoriety so much. Looking back on past cons I was very obsessed with people learning who I was, and getting to know as many people in as short a time as possible, suiting whenever I had the energy for it, and trying to get in all sorts of pictures. This year I didn't take a single picture, not one, and I'm sorry for that, but I have some good memories, and the time I could have spent fursuiting till I was more dead than alive was spent with friends. Overall it made for a much more relaxing con experience. Don't get me wrong, I love suiting, and I probably get more pleasure out of seeing pictures of me in suit posted than is prudent, but it's nice to detach one's self from all that and get down to what matters.

Now on to the disasters everyone's talking about. At about 4AM as many of you now know, some "inspired" individual unleashed his artistic creativity in the medium of Dry Chem Powder from a fire extinguisher in one of the stairwells. The fine particles triggered the fire alarm, and the great furry exodus from the Crowne Plaza Hotel. At first we were moved up the hill towards the parking garage, then re-located down towards the road. The core group of well known dancers that were in attendance set up an impromptu dance-off which was almost as good as the second row seats to the dance competition Syl and I had. It was a great way to pass the time, and we were almost a little sorry to hear that we could return to our rooms when the building had been cleared.

As for Hurricane Sandy. I don't want to jinx it, and I am sure that it's a serious problem in some areas, and has stranded many a fur in Cromwell, but so far turned out to not impede our travel whatsoever. We left early before closing ceremonies in order to beat the storm we haven't even seen. In the future we will DEFINITELY be staying from Thursday night through Sunday night to make the most of this wonderful con.
